Has it been good for you? Worth the brick risk?
What are your views on it?

Yes. You're only at risk of a brick unless you're a fucking idiot btw. The a9lh guide is very thorough and safe now.

Bretty gud. I've only bricked 2 and a half things in my life, so no real risk with something this easy. ROM hacks are pretty fun, and worth it imo. Especially if you like a challenge.

You'll be able to do the DSiWare Downgrade if you have access to Fieldrunners+a primary entrypoint for HBL. Nothing else.

>>29394443
10.7 is downgradeable as it is. You don't need another DS or anything, that only applies to firmwares beyond that one. Just follow the Plailect guide.

I hardd-modded my New 3DS XL, downgraded, installed A9LH, updated to 11.1, and I've still had no problems so this shit is pretty safe, and that's full-on hacking, not even plebeian homebrew.

On the current cfw you can update to the current official firmware and still be perfectly safe, and as far as they know with the exploit they've used Nintendo will never be able to dislodge them now. Still, you have to be hacked already, and for that you need 10.7 or earlier, since it can downgrade to the firmware version they can install the hack on.

I hacked my o3ds on 10.6 the other day, it was a really smooth process. I don't really know what to do with it though. I pirated a handful of games I was interested in but didn't really want to drop the money on, and found out that I would've been disappointed with the purchase and haven't touched them since. Once I figure out how to uninstall them I will.

I have a n3DS on 11.1 but I'm afraid of hardmodding it, as it has all my saves and things from my day 1 o3ds that I really don't want to lose.

You can uninstall them the same way you installed them. Go into the title list on FBI, find the game and delete it.

Homebrew gives you the means to install third part softwares on your 3ds, which you normally can't.
With it you can install softwares that late you import or export your save files to the sd, let you edit them, let you hack them, software that let you download games for free, games that are blocked in you region and all that kind of stuff.

I love it. Installed a9lh about a month ago when Plailects guide became short as hell and never looked back. During the whole process, I only got one brick scare when the 3DS hung on a black screen but it fixed itself when I removed the SD card and put it back in. It's hard to brick unless you have brain problems.

use menuhax to install basehax, then delete menuhax. (make sure basehax is working correctly, and you need oras game to do basehax). Use basehax to enter, homebrew then use ctr-httpwn to dowlnoad steeldivers, (in the no patched version) install steelhax. Now you can upload to 11.1 (you have to place a archive in the sd look for it) or stay in 10.0 using ctr to download shit and play online.

You wont find a better guide anywhere else on the internet. Being on 11.1 you're kind of fucked and need to downgrade in one of two fairly complicated ways but not all hope is lost. Basically you either need someone else with a hacked 3DS or some soldering experience. There is also always the chance that someone will find another exploit for 11.1.

My personal recommendation if this seems daunting to you is to keep your current 3DS the way it is and buy a second hand one on craigslist (or whatever your regional variant is). I've bought several cheap ones that are in practically brand new condition for peanuts, modded them then sold them. You need to ask them to check what firmware the console is and make sure to stress that you want a lower firmware and that they shouldn't update (I once asked somewhat what the firmware was so he replied back saying he just updated it to the latest for me).

I know absolutely nothing about how the insides of the 3DS work and I still managed to install a9lh first time without doing anything stupid, so I'd say it's been a success for me. Luckily I had a n3DS which I previously used for homebrew with ninjhax and it was on a low firmware.

It's limited to firmware. I bought my n3ds off of Ebay with a Sky3ds cart (some poor retard pissed off their mom for the last time, I guess). I tossed on Cubic Ninja and downgraded, and have been using Homebrew since.
Every now and again I update my n3ds back to the current firmware, to play online, but downgrading is easy once you know how.

I understand that. Does requiring a primary entry point mean I need to have some sort of hax already installed to access homebrew menu and install a new hax; I need to have homebrew installed to install homebrew.

If yes, what hacks do not require a primary entry point, just access to the SD card and/or some game.

You can get your OTP by recalculating it on a N3DS, no downgrade nothing for K9LH.

I had to fkin do everything manually on it without OTPHelper and risked bricking this console by going to 2.1 or failing switching the keyslots and replacing my NAND with it...
